Problem
Big Strong is a project manager for a systems development project involving a new database application for his organization's human resources department. Despite Big's best efforts at estimating the time requirements for the project, the team has missed the deadline for completing the Analysis Phase and producing the System Proposal. Big had estimated during his 6-week Planning Phase that Analysis would require 2 months, but the team finished the System Proposal 2 weeks behind their planned target date. Based on his discussions with the team members, Big believes that the system is more complex than he originally thought. Should Big adjust his timeline, or can he try to make up the lost two weeks? Big needs your advice.
